    System Setup:

    System 1 (local area connection 1)

    Time Warner cable internet into>Belkin wireless router(direct connected) to>AMD/Asus motherboard with onboard LAN using XP Pro 64 Bit {Good Internet}

    System 2 (local area connection 2)

    with Intel/Gigabyte motherboard with onboard LAN using Vista 32 Bit direct connect to AMD/Asus motherboard LAN

    also AMD/Asus motherboard has Rosewill PCI wireless card installed to gain access to Printer {No Internet Conflicts}

    Installed Cat5e cable between system 1 and 2. Setup LAN connections on both systems using Network Wizards. System 1 reports on local area connection "limited or no connectivity". System 2 recognizes "unidentified network".

    Tried to run network troubleshooter to no avail. Checked other forums - recommended windows patch for XP. Could not install said patch.

    Should I set static IPs? Any suggestions?

    Thanks
